Lane Greens
Optional7,200 SoulsSituationally useful
Rusted BarrelVery good laning item for dealing with Abrams' tougher lanes (M1s)
Extra RegenHard lane, it no longer builds into booster so I can't say it's core
GritCan buy this to "counterspell" burst in lane or to play aggro, or if you're getting reactive barrier
Reactive BarrierI buy indom a lot so this item is just nice to have especially if you need it vs CC early
Enchanter's EmblemIf you need early Spirit Resist
Battle VestIf you need early Bullet Resist

Core Items
19,200 SoulsCan L-R up to Hunter's Aura remember to buy greens
Bullet Resist ShredderCore shred item, can sell ultra late game after getting Hunter's Aura+Cfists
FortitudeI feel this item is important when playing to tempo like the current meta demands, and because there are so many box souls you can farm while healing
Hunter's AuraCan buy early if rich, OP item very good for melee, pretty decent in teamfights.
Superior DurationMakes your active abilities and items a lot better. Siphon, Charge, Ult, Unstop, Metal Skin, Colossus, etc. Easier to land wallstuns especially on new map
Debuff ReducerDebuff resist is just a very good stat in 99% of games
Crushing Fists10% additive resist shred with every heavy melee is very strong. Massive damage upgrade.

Point BlankMore damage compared to Weighted and builds out of Close Quarters, so if you don't need debuff resist this item is good
